Comic from 1919 imagines what it’s like to have a phone in your pocket

“W. K. Hasleden’s ‘The Pocket Telephone: When Will it Ring?’ was first published in The Mirror on March 5th 1919. It is reproduced here with the assistance of the British Cartoon Archive at the University of Kent and Mirrorpix.”

About Richard

I’ve been publishing online in one form or another since the early days of the web. I started this site in 2003 with a self-hosted install of WordPress and more recently migrated most of the old content here.

This site primarily features photography but I’m interested in many things and you’ll see an occasional video embed or story here as well.

I use Flickr to host my photography, some of which is embedded here. I also embed other Flickr members’ work as I find and want to share it further than Flickr.
